How are you downloading the games? via Bittorrent? cause if thats the case, bittorrent download speed depends on the amount of people thats seeding/downloading the game. Therefore theres going to be times when hundreds of people are downloading a game in return, this will increase the speed of your download. the reverse will happen if nobody is connected and downloading the same game.

The site you are connected to might be very busy or have an otherwise slow server.

It sounds as if the place you're uploading from has a very slow net connection.

Hi. The speed is limited to the SLOWEST connection, yours or the other one.
